Case Summary:

The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work in this case was a clinical scholar from South Korea, who was living in New York. His work had focused specifically on Investigative Dermatology, Psoriasis, Epidermolysis Bullosa, Laser Treatment of Pigmentation Disorders, and Dermatology Behavioral Science Research. As a Master’s Candidate in Clinical and Translational Research, he had participated in a clinical trial to develop Patient Decision Aids for psoriasis, headed a study to develop a biomarker in psoriasis, and conducted a clinical trial to compare small and large plaque psoriasis. We successfully demonstrated that his continued employment in the field of Dermatology would benefit those in his field, as well as the citizens of the United States at large. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to his field, including 35 peer-reviewed journal publications. His publications had been cited at least 102 times at the time we filed the case; nearly all of the citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field. The inherent merit of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “I can state with great sincerity that [Client] is one of the most talented scientists in the discipline of dermatology and that the projects he produces and the paper he authors are among the most influential in the field. […] His diverse skills and background have made him an expert in the field. [Client] possesses more talent than the majority of researchers in the field.” Through extensive documentation, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW petition was approved in 7 months and 2 days.
